July-1,320

Answer:
You said you 're giving birth in April 2016, so your semester of contingency is Jan to June 2016.
SSS will look for your 6 highest salary credits within Jan to Dec 2015 (this is the 12-month period prior to your semester of contingency).

You only have 4 contributions in 2015, so we will use all your 4 contributions. We will find the salary credits for your 4 contributions:

Karen Mendoza 3/6/16Thank u so much! If mat 1 has been stamped, does it mean it's already approved for maternity benefit?ANSWER:Sorry, not yet. After you've given birth and filed your claim, check your online SSS account from time to time to see if your maternity benefit is already approved.
